Join 100 Transportation Directors
Join 100 Pupil Transportation Directors as they discuss the importance of leadership and culture to organizational success and growth, a topic that has never been so timely. Staff shortages among drivers and maintenance technicians continue to adversely affect school district transportation departments and school bus contractors alike.
The solution to engaging and retaining the right employees—and ridding your organizations of toxic employees—is not simply about offering potlucks and ping-pong tables.
If you are a registered STN EXPO full conference attendee, there’s no additional cost to you, your municipality or your organization to participate in this exclusive event! Apply now for one of the limited 100 spots. Meals, snacks and participation expenses are covered by STN.

SUMMIT KEYNOTE
Discover Your Fair Advantage
Saturday June 3, 2023
Let’s get personal, shall we? How do you set yourself apart from your peers and competitors? How do you distinguish yourself from the rest of the pack? What exactly makes you unique and stand out? Or, why should people trust you, follow you, buy from or buy into you?
Profound questions that professionals in the workplace should be able to answer instantly. However, we rarely take the time to identify what makes us one of a kind and how we can leverage this fair advantage for our career and the organizations we work for. Nonetheless, a greater sense of self-awareness and self-confidence would allow you to present, act, and communicate authentically and confidently in any situation, whether face-to-face or online.
During this interactive presentation, you will uncover the unique qualities and traits that you individually bring to your workplace and that enable you to excel as a professional. With thought-provoking insights and profound questions, Sylvie will help you discover the intersections of sixteen different factors that cannot be replicated by anyone else and therefore make each of you a “category of one.”
